Vladu 11’s Custom NPC Addon

This is addon lets you add NPC (non-player characters) to your worlds. Maybe you want to add mobs to your worlds but don’t want them to ever get hurt or move around. It could be useful if you are creating a storyline for a map and need NPCs for it.

How does it work in-game?

The NPC (non-player characters) replaces the villagers. They can be spawned by using the villager spawn and and are useful if you are creating an adventure map (or basically anywhere else) and you want to add an invincible mob which can act as part of a story.

The only customization which you can add to it in-game is its name tag. For that you will need a name tag item and an anvil block.

It’s immune to fire, lava, TNT, attack damage, void and commands. Once an NPC has been spawned there is no way to remove it. At the same time this can be useful it also means that you have to be careful on deciding where to place them.

How to customize the skin for the NPC?

It is possible to customize the skin of the NPC but it’s only possible if you’ve got a computer or an Android device. It’s a little bit more tricky for iOS users as they will need access to the file system for their device and that is only possible by using a computer and a program such as iFunbox.

Find the following folder: /games/com.mojang/resource_packs/Custom(or something a folder of similar name)/textures/entity/villager

Replace the farmer.png skin with a skin of your choice. You can go to our skins section to find and download a new one.

I really need this mod, but I don’t understand how to change the skins? Can you provide more in-depth instructions, because I truly want to know how to do this! One for computer, Android, and iOS please!

im not the creator of the addon but I have a solution for ios users
go in the files app that comes with your ios, go in the file browser thing, go in Minecraft app folder, find the “com.mojang” folder, go in resource packs folder, find the folder for this addon, go in textures and then entities, find the villager texture, and then replace it with the texture you want

I have the mod, and I do like it, but my only complaint is you can’t change the skin without having to download something. There is a mod similar to this (no longer available for download, but search Costum NPC on MCPEDL search) that can change the appearance in-game. Can you attempt that in the future?

I love it, you should add something, where you can make it talk! Like in Minecraft roleplays, where you click on tbe villager and it says something
Bobby: I love your shirt
And you can add options. To click on to countiue the story line. Ya know what i mean?

Wow, really cool addon!!! Works great, really simple. But, i did have issues with replacing the texture. I have E S file explorer, and I closely followed the instructions, renaming the skin I selected from a different folder and transferring it to the correct one, but when I restarted minecraft, the skin had not changed. (I have an android device, by the way,) Still a really cool addon, especially for maps. Great job!

Just a little thing, I tried to go into games/com.mojang/resource_packs and it was an empty folder for me. I am on Android and I really wanna try this custom skin feature. If you fix this I would be greatful in return.

HELLO this is awesome i have i i uh im speechless but the problem is i dont know how to change its skin please i keep putting the skin and i delete the old one and then i put farmer.png to the new skin
And when i restart the game is still the same green farmer boy plz read rhis help me 😟

Nice! Thank you! It’s really easy to build adventure maps with it… But after I have spawned somebody I can’t kill him if it is the false skin and he stands there forever ): But its really a good idea 😀

Hey! Love this mod but I need some help! I want to do the custom skins, but there isn’t a file for it that I can find! I’m using Windows 10 File Explorer but there is no files in the Minecraft bit. Hope you can help 🙂

This is amazing!! Well done, but I have a couple tips:
1: you could make baby versions for smaller name tags
2: you could many get trendier skins for them
3:many u could even make a map to showcase them?
You’ve done an awesome job well done!!

Hey vladu11 nice addon i love your makings and btw whats the npcs other uses do it just stands can it talk or have inventory pls add that in your next update pls i would shoutout you if u do it and thanks too (just an idea)

Can you make them talk by using files from the original npc so you can make it talk by the way I can spawn more the 5 and I have the behaviors cause I can remove it with a nether star don’t remove this just telling you

This add on doesn’t work for me. It would start importing the texture pack and the behaviour pack but it would say “failed to import” and I would click it then it would say unknown behaviour/texture pack. Can you guys please fix this but thx

Vladu11, i have an idea for an addon i think u should make. do a star wars addon with bb-8 as a cat, R2D2 as the dog(R2D2 can shoot projectiles), a landspeeder that replaces pigs( you can ride it and control it), clone troopers replace skeletons, villagers become jawas, zombies become boba fett, endermen become darth vader, husks become yoda, sheep become something and allow it to change textures, lightsabers, blasters, and i think you can think of more

iOS users download filemaster and then download the resource and then rename it
(Name).mcpack into (name).zip (just change it to mcpack to zip rename it ) and then unzip it then go to the entities then retexture the npc and then delete the skin of villager and replace it with a new one and name it villager.png,smith.png etc. and then go back where the pack icon is and press where there is no files and select “select all” then it should be blue then press and hold one file and press “zip” then rename it Archive.zip into NPC.mcpack (does not matter what you name it) then press and hold and press “open with” and choose mcpe. That is how
That took me long.

It happens with my brother’s iPad too, Not for mine, Mine is just completely fine. I think it has something to do with how much storage your device has left, Maybe delete some apps you don’t need to use anymore or remove some photos in your photo album, Re-download the app, and try again, That’s what I did with my brother’s device.

vladu11 you should try to let them have inventories too, I love it so far and I’m looking forward to the update but please try to allow them to have inventories even if they are small ones. Thank you I love all your cool add-ons.

Can you make it so you can customaze it pls be uase this addon is so cool but customazing it wolud be even better so can you. Pls make it so ios users can customazite with out a lot if truble i dont even know what Ifunbox is?

Hello i realy love your addon but i have downloaded apps to replace the texture it worked but the texture is all mesed and i have noticed that normal skins are differant from the 5 npc skins and it looks wierd , If the is a way for me to fix this pls tell me if not in the next update of this addon make the mob instead of villiger to zombie so i can have custom skins on my npc instead lf a villegr with no arms and weird texture thx … Pls reply soon. -elijah : ^ )

Yeah but I’m putting in 64×64 skins, they look exactly the same but retextured, and it comes out all strange and stretched out, the face is on the leg. Also TheMcGamer089, how is it being helpful when your telling us that either we put the skin in the other way around, with no helpful data at all.
